Beagleboard with LOX Board Not Starting Asterisk
by Russell Van Vlack 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Over the weekend my Allstar Node went down suddenly. Had been working fine until then. I looked at my Beagleboard and LOX board and Asterisk had stopped running. I haven't been able to get it running since. Attempts to get it running from the CLI (asterisk -vc) have given me a segfault. Below is the tail of the asterisk/messages log: [Aug 28 22:14:48] NOTICE[1125] cdr.c: CDR simple logging enabled. [Aug 28 22:14:48] NOTICE[1125] loader.c: 148 modules will be loaded.

RTCM txprelim?
by KJ6KO 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

I am looking into an RTCM. Does it have the capability of driving a modulator directly? May have to use it with an old Palomar controller which is set up for direct modulator input style TX audio (pre-emphasized) txprelim=yes? I know it has the ability to de-emphasize the DISC audio from the Palomar.

System ideas for a first install
by Jonathan Weirmeir 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

A while back, I asked for tips with virtualization. However, since it's my first time, I'd like to use a dedicated box for app_rpt. I'm interested in a system solution that's fairly low profile, but most importantly, that's low in power consumption and heat generaton (which rules out the spare Pentium 4 space heater I have sitting around). I've read that some have repurposed thin clients for app_rpt, with different levels of success. Anyone have any suggestions for systems that have enough horsepower to run up to four nodes on a single box, and around say $100 or less? I'm using URIx's and USB sound fobs. Thanks, can't wait to get going with app_rpt. Jonathan

RXONDELAY not working?
by tom 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

The chan_simpleusb.c code clearly has the rxondelay parameter. However, I tested it on a couple of half-duplex nodes and didn't see any effect. A bug? Tom / K5TRA

RXONDELAY not working?
by KJ6KO 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

simpleusb.conf setting rxondelay=x to any number makes no difference. Does something else need to be set for it to work? Tried it from 2 up to 50 and no change in the actual delay. Anyone? Saw another identical post from 2011 and there was NO reply! Thanks...

Simplex. (duplex=0) Talks directly to and listens to a repeater, but the repeater's TX PL goes away when no input. It gets a quick "glimpse" of it once in a while and causes a "bounceback". 100ms delay or less would cure that. ----- Original Message ----- From: mike(a)midnighteng.com To: KJ6KO Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 8:44 AM Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] RXONDELAY not working?

allmon.ini - not resolving hostnames?
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hi All; I have allmon running on a couple of my systems. On one of my reflectors, I show activity from a remote system (where the remote is also running allmon). Recently, I discovered that on my reflector, the activity from the remote is no longer being displayed. After a bit of digging, I found that if I specify an IP address for 'host=x.x.x.x' then it works fine. However, if I enter a hostname, allmon doesn't seem to resolve the hostname and I get an 'unable to connect' error message. If I ping or telnet the hostname from a shell command, it resolves to the correct address, confirming that DNS resolution is working fine. Any ideas? Thanks! Ramesh.

2 sites, 5 radios
by Tom King 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Site A: 2 repeaters: 2M, 6M Easier to get to but internet shakey Site B: 3 Repeaters: 2M, 220, 440 Harder to get to but better Internet I can put a wifi link between them (2 mile shot across a saddle) Primary use is Standalone repeaters but Cross connecting and linking to buildings without good visibility to the sites very likely. They are only 7 and 9 miles away but take at least 2hrs to get to. (I've inherited these in the last 48hrs and want to unify control and linking) I just started with allstar about 3 weeks ago so I'm not fully up on what can be done So I guess the questions are: 1. What (relatively) Cost Effective way to do this? 2. if I have good power for the computers (run them off of a 12v battery) and reasonable computer hardware would Limey work? (I don't like spinning things on mountaintops if I can avoid them as they fail at the most inopportune times) 3. a bunch of URI's or use PCI radio cards? Thanks Tom KA6SOX

Autopatch Subscriptions with PayPal
by Jim Duuuude 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

For some reason, a number of users that had Autopatch Subscriptions with PayPal were in some sort of a "hung" state where somehow PayPal force-suspended their subscriptions, without any way of un-suspending them. For those of you in this "condition", your subscriptions have been "cancelled" in the PayPal system (being the only option it would allow), and if you wish to have working Autopatch service, please re-sign up. As far as I understand all of you in this "condition" have not had working service, nor have you been billed in some time. If, for some reason, my assessment of any of this has been inaccurate, please let me know and I will do whatever I need to fix it. Thanks. Jim WB6NIL

FAO List Admins

Hi Guys, Could somebody chop g0fhmuk@gmail from the list? I unsubscribed about 4 weeks ago, and I would appear to no longer be a member.... If I send mail to the list from that address, I get the 'awaiting moderator approval' message in return. But i'm still getting mail from the list to that address! I wouldn't normally complain, but the address is now on forward to this address - and I'm geting duplicate mail! Thanks, James 29681
